Follow the steps below for your operating system to select Black/Grayscale or Grayscale in the printer driver.

The printer software does not have an option for Black Ink Only. To keep the print head clear and ready to print, the printer uses a small amount of ink from all the cartridges whenever it prints. Even if you select Black/Grayscale or Grayscale, some color ink is still being used.

Open the File menu and select Print.

Macintosh 10.3.x, 10.4.x, 10.5.x
